Well it looks like Amazon is able to send their founder, Jeff Bezos, to space, but when it comes to utilising the rest of the sky, it seems that they can’t quite make the rest of the sky their own. For what has been a long-held promise of innovation from the delivery goods giant, Amazon has hoped to be a contender in drone delivery with their branch of the company, Amazon Prime Air.

RUAS Commercial Operations team have made the most of the fantastic weather to perfect their skills with their annual Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) Training.

As a drone enthusiast you may have heard the terms VLOS, EVLOS and BVLOS, but you may be unsure of what these terms actually mean.

The DJI P1 and L1 respectively have both been long awaited additions to the ever-expanding capabilities that DJI have to offer.

A standard part of any drone pilot’s day is to clarify the airspace you’re working in and the severity and impact that an unmanned aircraft’s presence has there and co-ordinate accordingly. Often, it might not even be much of an issue, operating safely well outside of any airfield or heliport activity.

A huge well done to the head of RUAS – Tim Harris in achieving the Global Runner-Up for the Airwards – People’s choice award.
